Doctors’ responses
Triphala churna is a very good choice in your case. It balances Vata–Pitta–Kapha, improves digestion (agni), and gently relieves constipation without dependency.
Hii Vipasa Add TRIPHALA TABLETS 2 tab at bedtime with warm water
Additional Suggestions to Ease Constipation - Add 1 tsp ghee to lunch or dinner – lubricates intestines without aggravating Kapha - Soak 4–5 raisins overnight and eat them in the morning – gentle laxative and iron support - Drink warm water with ajwain and fennel seeds after meals – aids digestion and reduces bloating - Avoid dry, cold, or overly spicy foods – they worsen Vata and slow bowel movement - Practice 5 minutes of Apanasana or gentle squatting yoga in the morning – stimulates colon movement
WARM REGARDS DR.ANJALI SEHRAWAT
HELLO VIPSA,
You’re right to be cautious - Medohar vati, while useful for weight management and metabolism, can sometimes cause constipation in certain individuals because it has drying and light properties that may aggravate vata dosha if digestion or hydration is not properly balanced
CAN YOU TAKE TRIPHALA POWDER WITH MEDOHAR VATI? -Yes, generally it’s safe and often recommended
HOW TO TAKE IT
TIMING= take medohar vati after meals twice daily
TRIPHALA= take 1/2-1 tsp of triphala powder with warm water at bedtime =It helps regulate bowel movements, improve digestive fire, and reduces the constipating effect of Medohar vati
2) ADDITIONAL AYURVEDIC SUGGESTIONS
DIET AND LIFESTYLE -Increase warm, moist foods- khichdi, soups, cooked vegetables with ghee or sesame oil -Avoid dry foods= excessive roasted , spicy, or raw foods can worsen constipation -Stay hydrated= drink warm water or cumin- fennel -coriander infused water throughout the day -Regular routine = take meals and medicines at the same time daily -Mild exercise= brisk walking or yoga like pawanmuktasama trikonasama, vajrasana etc helps improve metabolism and bowel function
OTHER AYURVEDIC REMEDIES
If constipation persist even with Triphala
-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp before meals with warm water =mild laxative and digestive aid
-ISABGOL HUSK = 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime
-GHEE WITH WARM MILK= a gently daily laxative for dry type constipation
Choose only one , not all together
WHEN TO REVIEW OR STOP MEDOHAR VATI -If constipation persists > 1 week despite triphala -If you experience dryness, gas, abdominal discomfort, or weakness -consult an physician ayurvedic to reassess your dosha balance- you may need a gentler formulations like trikatu churna or lashunadi vati
THANK YOU

Yes sometimes Medhohara vati can aggravate vata leading to dry stools — constipation So take triphala churna- 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime Drink plenty of fluids warm water throughout the day Include fruits in your diet Avoid spicy sour non veg processed foods Along with that add Abhaya aristha-4 tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food
It is common to consider natural remedies to manage side effects, and Triphala powder is a well-known Ayurvedic remedy for constipation due to its mild laxative properties.
Interestingly, the ingredients of certain Medohar Vati formulations often already include Triphala (Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki), which supports digestion and detoxification.
Other Suggestions to Help with Constipation:
Constipation in Ayurveda is often associated with the aggravation of Vata Dosha (characterized by dryness and coldness). The goal is to introduce warmth, moisture, and good fats.
Increase Warm Water Intake: Drink plenty of lukewarm or warm water throughout the day.
Healthy Fats (Ghee/Oil): Consider taking 1-2 teaspoons of Ghee (clarified butter) in a cup of warm milk or warm water at bedtime. Ghee provides lubrication for the intestines.
Dietary Fiber: Increase your intake of cooked, easy-to-digest fibrous vegetables and fruits (like cooked apples, pears, peaches, soaked raisins, or soaked figs/prunes). Avoid too many dry, cold, or raw foods.
Exercise: Gentle, regular physical activity, like a daily walk, can help stimulate the digestive system.
If you choose to use Triphala after it is traditionally taken:
At night: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder mixed with a cup of warm water, often about 30 minutes before bed
Then reduce the dosage take tab anuloman ds enough
Hello Vipsa. If medohar is giving you constipation, then add Triphala juice 20 ml twice daily after food with water, This will also help in fat cells removable. Add also Tablet livomyn 1-0-1 after food with water, will improve your metabolism and help to give faster results. Also diet is important Brisk walking atleast 30 mins daily will be helpful.

Hello, As medohara vati contains guggulu, there is chance of getting constipated. You can take triphala churna one teaspoon with warm water at bed time. Take care, Kind regards.
Continue Medhohara vati along with that can take triphala/ haritaki churna-1 tsp with warm water at night Drink plenty of fluids And take easily digestible foods
Constipation as a side effect from Medohar Vati isn’t uncommon, as it can increase dryness in the body due to its properties aimed at managing kapha dosha and reducing excess body fat. To address this, integrating Triphala powder into your daily routine is an effective way to promote better digestion and relieve constipation. Triphala, being a natural colon cleanser and having mild laxative properties, aids in maintaining digestive regularity.
You can take Triphala powder by mixing half a teaspoon to a teaspoon in warm water before bedtime. This helps stimulate the gastrointestinal tract overnight, supporting effective bowel movements in the morning. Ensure that the water isn’t too hot as it might lessen the efficacy of the herbs.
For further support in balancing your doshas, consider these dietary modifications and lifestyle practices:
1. Hydration: Increase your water intake throughout the day. Warm water is particularly beneficial for maintaining smooth bowel movements.
2. Fiber-Rich Diet: Incorporate dietary fibers through fruits like papaya, apples, pears, and vegetables such as leafy greens and squash to naturally support digestion.
3. Regular Meal Schedule: Eating at regular intervals and maintaining a balanced diet can significantly help stimulate agni, or digestive fire.
4. Exercise: Incorporate daily physical activities like a brisk walk or yoga practices that encourage movement in the abdominal area.
If constipation persists despite these adjustments, or if there are any drastic changes in your health, seeking advice from a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider would be wise.
On a final note, monitor your body’s response as you make these changes. Everyone’s dosha constitution is unique, and responses to Ayurvedic treatments can vary, so ensure adjustments align with your specific needs and condition.
Yes it is the case with some people they face constipation with medohar vati.
The most easy way to get rid is taking it with luke warm or hot water.
Rather than triphala churna you can use GANDHARVA HARITAKI as laxative as it will help medohar work better.
Take GANHARVA HARITAKI 3 tbs/1 tsp powder with a cup of hot water and half a tsp of ghee in it at bed time
Taking medohar vati does indeed sometimes cause dryness which can lead to constipation. Yes, incorporating triphala can help with the digestive process. Triphala is renowned for its ability to balance vata dosha, which is often implicated in constipation issues. To integrate it with your routine, try taking half a teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water before going to bed. This should help maintain regular bowel movements.
Medohar vati primarily targets kapha dosha, aiding in weight management and metabolic balance. Sometimes its effect can disturb vata, leading to dryness and constipation as you are experiencing. Monitoring your intake of water and ensuring you’re consuming warm, moisture-rich foods can support vata balance. To avoid aggravation, you may consider reducing or adjusting spice-heavy or overly dry foods in your diet.
Additionally, increase your intake of ghee or healthy fats—this can act as a natural lubricant for your intestines, aiding smoother digestion. Practicing light yoga postures, especially those focusing on the abdomen like pawanmuktasana can also be beneficial.
If constipation persists despite these measures, consider consulting a health practitioner. Sometimes, these dietary and lifestyle changes together might need a bit more tweaking specific to your dosha and lifestyle. Avoid proceeding with any new supplement or herbal combination without guidance if you are uncertain, as unique body constitutions can react differently.
Yes sometimes medohara vati can cause constipation in many individuals
You can taper dose and along side you can start with
Triphala churna= 1tsp with warm water at bedtime
Isabgol= 1 tsp with warm water
If severe constipation can take
Castor oil = 1 tsp with warm milk once weekly
Reduce intake of dry foods Increase intake of fibers
